Question

The Tasmanian devil has 14 chromosomes in each of its somatic cells, 2n = 14. How many chromosomes would be present in a cell after anaphase of Mitosis?
28

7

14

21

Answer 1

How many chromosomes would be present in a cell after anaphase of Mitosis?
During anaphase, sister chromatids separate to opposite sides of the cell. Therefore the 4n after doubling returns to 2n at each end of the dividing cell after anaphase. But until cytokinesis (1 cell pinching into 2), it's still one cell therefore 4n = 28

Answer 2

Answer:

28

Explanation:

The anaphase of Mitosis on the cell is the phase were all the duplicated cromosomes are aligned to be ready to the division of the cell that is going to happen on the next phase, as the cromosomes have being duplicated so the new created cells each have a pair of 14 cromosomes, at this point in the cell there are double the number of cromosomes as in a regular cell, which would be 28.
